cms186 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I am Nottingham Forest, who start off with the following: Training Facilities: 13 Youth Facilities: 11 Youth Coaching: 9 Youth Recruitment: 12 Through multiple improvements requested by me from the board, i have now increased this to the following: Training Facilities: 18 Youth Facilities: 17 Youth Coaching: 14 Youth Recruitment: 12 Yet have never had the option to increase my pretty average Youth Recruitment, its currently March 2018, I have the option to improve my youth Facilities again from the board, but i dont have the money yet, so that wont get done till at least Autumn next season, My reputation is pretty high, having won the Europa League last season, its currently "Continental" and im in the top 40 clubs by rep in the World. My question is this, what precisely do i have to do to get the option to improve my Youth Recruitment? i really want to get quality youth players through from my academy, but have only had one decentish player through in 6 intakes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocheBag Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I'm wondering the same thing. I've just brought a 3rd tier Swiss club to the Champions League final and have never seen the option to improve my basic youth recruitment, even though I've got my junior coaching up to exceptional.

Sikker Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I believe you need more affiliates - preferably foreign - to increase youth recruitment. To my experience that's how it seems, anyways Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cms186 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 hmm, will try that then, i already have 4 feeder clubs, but 2 are domestic loan ones, one is a merchandise one and one is a wp one, will ask next time for a foreign one to help with youth then, see if that works, cheers the suggestion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauladams84 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 It's very strange that you've never had the option. You not even have it from the start? Feeder clubs will eventually help with a more varied intake although wouldn't increase recruitment value of 12. So you might get foreign youngsters come through but they would still be same quality. Whether it increases chance to be able to upgrade recruitment I couldn't say for sure but sounds plausable. Money and rep is the 2 that you need, especially money. When you next have a chance to upgrade facilities etc, don't. build finances and wait for it to come up. What you should do is hover over the greyed out recruitment upgrade. It might give you a reason. 1st thing I thought was you might have too many local rivals that are bigger than you but with it being forest. That shouldn't come into it.

Master420 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Your facilities don't dictate your youth recruitment. If you have better Youth Recruitment and broader Scouting Knowledge, you will have more no of good recruits. Your rep decides how good your 'Best Prospects' will be.

That shouldn't come into it. location isnt a reason, im by far the biggest club for miles around, nearest clubs at my level of rep are the London and Manchester Clubs! Sadly the recruitment upgrade isnt greyed out, ive always had the option to "Cut Back", just never to upgrade! I wouldnt have thought money would make the option pop up, just dictates whether the board will actually approve it or not :/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cms186 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 hmm, i now have the option to upgrade, in pre season going into season 7, cant really pinpoint anything that triggered it though, i did just sign a new contract, but i doubt that was it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauladams84 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Yeah that's strange that it took so long to even give the option. At least you've been offered now... I'm guessing its approved. Did your rep go up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
